I feel like I have been promised more. But the whole thing has been dropped. Maybe he will pick up the rest in another decade after being tenured at some college and getting paid by Disney for storyboard work. I guess I should be happy with what we can get. For anyone that has not seen this, the artist usually sticks to about 4 - 6 colors per panel and only uses a brush.

i wasn't sure if i could make it through the second book, but i did, and i've started to appreciate the story telling a lot more on this round. it's quite a "classic" tale about adventures and warriors and honor, without an imperialist attitude i felt. pretty exciting art. try it out!

The finale of the series. This books wraps up the tale of Rocketo Garrison and his comrades on their journey. As with the previous book, it is wild and epic in its scale and contains a story of mythic proportions. Highly recommended.

This volume is much better. The story holds together and takes on an almost mythic proportion.

very good story and art, but sometimes it was hard to follow. the climax was also very rushed, I wanted to see the Coil tear up some stuff.
